If one person can be cursed so can another. We don't know Adam's back story yet, but it does not have to be exactly the same; to be consistent with this theory all that would be needed would be for Adam to have been cursed for having (at one time) valued life over the things that made life worth living.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tom, that's an excellent article on Constantine, thanks for linking.

Constantine was not terrible, but the writing was kind of pedestrian. At least Matt Ryan seems like a good fit for the role.

I liked Constantine. Not in love yet, but I'm in for more. John seems, so far, pretty much the same John as in the comics, with, predictably, less smoking and swearing. The reason he's now in America makes sense, and I like this odd new version of Chas. There was a bit too much of the girl/MacGuffin, though I guess she's supposed to be the Ordinary Jane that the audience who doesn't know John is meant to identify with, so I guess that's to be expected in a pilot. From what I've read, she was originally meant to be a continuing character, but the writers decided to send her on her way and bring in a different woman character as a regular - hopefully someone more interesting and less of a damsel. The actor who plays Constantine did great, I can't imagine them finding a better one. He moves and speaks a little faster than I imagine the "real" John would, but hey, we've only got 42 minutes.

There were some scary moments, but nothing that really stood out. It looks like we're getting a "the apocalypse is coming and only we can stop it one monster at a time" story arc. I'm still hopeful. They've got some good stuff to work with, if they'll do something with it. I'd love to see the cancer arc from the comics. I noticed that the angels don't seem to be entirely good guys, which is in keeping with the comics.
